Project Mr. T

I bought Mr. T in January 12' and I've done the following so far:
06' R53 Checkmate 43,000 miles

All of the work was done by my buddy Scott. He is located in Matawan, NJ. The car drives better than brand new and sounds mean.

Looks like a great list.

Although, I am sad to see the silver stripes, top, and mirror caps go as that is an option only available for the Checkmate package at that time.
